Mayor Names SPLOST Citizens Oversight Advisory Committee Members
|
Mayor Jason Lary named the members of the city's new SPLOST Citizens Oversight Advisory Committee during last night's city council meeting. The 12-member committee will ensure that the city is accountable for the funds generated by the 1% tax that voters approved in 2017. SPLOST will generate an estimated $47 million for the city over the next five and a half years.
The mayor said the committee is diverse with a wide range of skills that will be essential for making SPLOST recommendations to the council. "Committee members have backgrounds in engineering, legal, procurement, accounting and finance, construction project management, public safety, parks and recreation, and information technology," Mayor Lary said. The committee, comprised of members from each of the city's five districts, will meet later this month to begin reviewing the SPLOST management scope of services and set goals for projects recommended by Stonecrest citizens.
